Have I killed the romance in my life?
Am I so focused on getting through school and field ed that I fail to see the romance in everyday life? I honestly can't think of very many specific times we had in college that were romantic, but I felt then that our relationship was very romantic. Odd.
Perhaps I'm too much of a cynic? Do I see only the face value of actions, things, and events, missing there significance?
I think I can safely say after 2.5 months of marriage that the way things/we were during our Albion days will never come back. Perhaps I was more creative then- the ideas burst out everywhere. I wonder if all of the philosophizing and striving for the "right answers" to doctrinal and practical questions has just drained my creativity. If I worked on my creativity, I'll bet I'd find more original ways to think of romance, beyond that hokey sap-and-crap. A blogger friend of mine is a novelist in her free time... maybe I should find a similar pursuit.
Sigh. I should have been writing my paper.
